The air conditioning units for an office building are different from those of a home. A home can have a central air system but very often, it will have several small units one in each room that is to be cooled. A central system, like that of an office building, has one control unit that sends cool or hot air through ducts that go to each of the rooms in the building. The temperature can be set for the entire building from that one unit. This has both its pros and cons.
Duct System
This system is like a home unit but much bigger. Using a compressor, evaporator coils and a condenser, this system generates cool air and then pushes it to a maze of ducts that run through the building. The ducts will go to each room in the building and the air will keep the entire building at the temperature it is set for.
Central Air System Pros
• The cost of a central air conditioning system is by far cheaper per BTU than a conventional room-to-room unit system.
• This system has the capability of servicing a very large building.
• These systems are known for being very durable and long lasting if installed correctly.
• As long as you keep your ducts cleaned, the air supply will be very good.
• This system is known for being very quiet.
Central Air System Cons
• Though the cost per BTU is very low, the initial cost of installation is very high.
• The unit is very large and must be put outside. You may need to put some plants or trees around it so that it is not such an eyesore outside your building.
• Once a unit is installed, there is no moving it. It has zero mobility.
• If you are using a duct system, your ducts will need to be cleaned regularly.
